The Blues travel to Old Trafford on the brink of completing the greatest comeback in Premier League championship history, storming to within three points of United having been 15 behind just over two months ago.
They were in danger of falling 18 adrift when they were 1-0 down to Ferguson's side at Stamford Bridge on March 1 but turning around that game has sparked a run of 25 points from the last 27.
And that has caught United napping, according to Chelsea boss Ancelotti.
"Man United hoped they wouldn't have to play this kind of game against us," said the Italian.
"They have to fight again for the title. Maybe two or three weeks ago, they didn't think in this game they'd need to fight so much.
Mentally, for this reason, we can have an advantage," he added.
